Category: Embossing Folders

Thank you once again to everyone who voted for me last month. I got to be part of the Top Ten Winners Blog Hop. If you didn’t catch the amazing creations, please check them out. Where does the time go? In saying that it is that time again where I am once again playing along with Kylie’s International Blog Highlights.

This month the theme is “Sympathy“. It is not something we like to create but as I am down a little on this type of card, I have been creating a few for an upcoming event, so perfect timing. The only problem was which one to showcase for this hop?

Not sure of what is Kylie’s International Highlights? It is where Demonstrators from all around the world take part in a monthly Blog Highlight. It’s a great way to get to know other Demonstrators & see projects using current Stampin’ Up!® product.

What is so different about this Blog Highlight?YOU get to vote for your top 5 favourites. The top ten will then get to take part in an international blog hop with Kylie & other talented successful demonstrators.

What do I do? All you have to do is click on the “Vote for Me” photo at the side or head on over to Kylie’s Blog, click on the heart in the top right hand side of the picture. I’m #3!

On Saturday, we had a bit of a Play Day with some of the ladies from our Technique Class as well as my volunteer class. It was a fun day & all went home with a couple of Christmas Cards, Box & Gift Bag of goodies.

Everyone who came along had to create a card, 3-d project or something that would be quick, easy & fun. Amazing how we all start out with the same kit but all end up with different looks.

In fact, they are asking when the next one will be. I intend on holding more of these next year plus all day workshops, but more on that at a later day.

Our first card was created by Rose & this is my interpretation of it. We used the new “Hearth & Home” Dies, “Wonderland” & “Cozy Christmas” Stamp Sets plus the lovely “Softly Falling” EF. The only thing I have done is use Blackberry Bliss CS & the trees from “Wonderland” Stamp Set. This is Rose’s card above.

To create your own card, please click on the link above the card.

Don’t forget to pop back in a couple of days for more of our creations.

Today’s card is another we did in our Technique Class – Embossing Folders. There are so many ways of using your EF instead of just running it through the Big Shot. In our class we create 2 cards as well as a sample to take home for your Technique Books.

Next time you dig out your Folders to use on a card, look at it & try & use it a different way. It will open up a whole new world for you & you will look at your Folders in a different light.

Our Stamp Set was Polka-Dot & Pieces. Once which I think I purchased in error & had never used, but I love it. So many possibilities!

In our card today we didn’t actually run our Folder through the Big Shot, instead we sponged different colours inks around the flat side of the folder, sprayed a little water & then pressed it flat onto our card. Perfect for a background! The fun part about this was that everyone had a different background, even though we used the same technique! When I demonstrated the technique, I even got a different background to the one in today’s card.

In fact, I didn’t even do this Technique on Watercolour Paper, it was done on our ordinary Whisper White CS. I wanted to see how different it would be to use the Whisper White CS & what result I would get. I must say I am happy with it!

Today’s cards are the ones I created for my “Thank You” cards for my customers for July. I love these simple, easy little cards. All created in the 2014-2015 In Colours of Baked Brown Sugar, Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana & Crisp Cantaloupe plus Whisper White.

I originally saw a card using the “Beautiful Wings” Embosslits on Pinterest & for some reason it stuff in my head. I am not sure if I saved I to create at a later stage, but if you click on the link, it will take you to the one I got my inspiration from. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely card.

With the Tutorial below, when creating your card, substitute the Pistachio Pudding for the other In Colours. I have only listed Pistachio Pudding.

I found a lovely little card on Pinterest with the colours of Pistachio Pudding & Smokey Slate. I have spent a couple of hours trying to find it but do apologise for not being able to give you credit. I have put my own spin on it & well, looking at the card now, it doesn’t resemble the one I took my inspiration from. Strange how that can happen hey.

I love this stamp set & am so very glad it didn’t retire. I ended up posting this to a good friend of mine the other day who is having a bit of a hard time. I just thought it would be very different to flowers, etc. I only hope she likes it!

It would make for a very good male card too by just changing out the colours.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the images direct onto a piece of Very Vanilla CS using Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding & Smokey Slate Inks, prior to attaching with Multipurpose Glue.

By clicking on the link below, you are able to download & print your copy of the Tutorial.

It seems like forever since my last post, but with the wedding season upon us, invitations & receptions have been taking up all my spare time.

Today’s post is one I created a couple of weeks go & thought I would share with you. It is a very easy layout but one that can be changed out to whatever you want using different stamps, colours & even DSP.

In fact, this card would make a perfect card for Mum, especially with Mother’s Day just around the corner.

Like this:

…was one of the stamp sets we used in our Technique Class last month. If you haven’t tried Stampin’ Mist as a Technique, give it a whirl as you will be surprised at how easy it is & the different effects you get on your card. Each time you do this technique, you will get a different look each time.

Today’s card is one we will be creating in my Volunteer Class this afternoon.

As with most of Friday’s card, it has been CASEd (Copied & Shared Everything) from Pinterest. L.O.V.E this site! Thanks Vicki for your inspiration!

It does use one of my favourite retired stamp sets, but that is the beauty about my Volunteer Class – I get to play with some of my retired products again. The card can easily be recreated with current products.

I’ve loved this cute little stamp set since I laid eyes on & have only just managed to ink it up now. Shame on me!

Today’s card is one we created in our Friday’s Crafty Creations Class. As usual, I CASEd my card for today. You can see the original on Pinterest. I changed my up a little using all SU! Products, but the class did actually use the Embossing Folder which is on the original card. Thank you so much for your inspiration.

I’ve also used the gorgeous new Embossing Folder – Decorative Dots – which is a FREE item you are able to earn in the upcoming Sale-A-Bration, starting Tuesday, 28 January. All you have to do is spend $90.00 AUD (excluding P&H). Contact me for more details!
